Bath re-enamelling for Pendlebury homes

Bath re-enamelling in Pendlebury, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can usually put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Never use suction bath mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Salford and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pendlebury

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Pendlebury: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are there extra charges for Pendlebury?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the whole of Salford?

Across the UK, so Pendlebury is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Repair or replace in Pendlebury?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
